River Park Hotel and Suites - Port of Miami

Good location for the low price. Staff does not understand English. Breakfast is bad.

Thet had problem find the Orbitz res.

We basically just slept in the room. We were out touring Miami and South Beach during the stay. Didn't like the location of the hotel because there was absolutely no parking. You have to valet your car so the flexibility to go in and out is limited.

I went down to this hotel just for one night, at the end of a one week tour across Florida. The rate is pretty good but this is hell to park the car, except if u accept to pay an extra 25$ for the valet service. I resigned myself to park the car at the parking lot just across the street without paying the 1,25$/hour requested... Anyway, this is not a top class hotel but the staff was very friendly. A light continental breakfast is included btw 8 and 9am. Wireless internet connection available for free at 1st floor only. Pool is well located but small. So I would recommand it for a 1 night stay or for business guys. Cause downtown Miami is not the best place to be for vacation.

hotel needs to be upgraded some of the rooms look old

The check in was somewhat slow as there seemed to be some miscommunication between orbitz and the hotel or unfamiliarity among the staff in how to retrieve a reservation placed through orbitz. However, this problem resulted in an upgrade from a room to a suite. The room was old but clean; the edges of the carpeting where meeting the wall were in rough shape. There were stains on the curtains and lamphades. The lighting was not very good for working in. The telephone lacked information how to reach the front desk or place outside calls. These problems aside, the bathroom was in marvelous condition, and the upholstery on the chairs was excellent. This particular room had a view of the expressways and skyscrapers. The noise from the road was not too bad, but, there was some light coming through the curtains which did not fully meet; safety pinning two of them together solved this. During the day it was spectacular to watch the birds glide in circles above the skyscrapers. The other hotel guests were diverse, international, and young. There were some tasty and convenient ethnic restaurants nearby.

After reading all the reviews from the other travellers I decided to give a chance to this infamous hotel! First surprising thing to know is that you have to pay $2 per day for a safe located in the drawer even if you won't use it you'll have to pay! Then there's a valet parking charging $25 whereas you can park the car yourselft in the nearby public parking FREELY from midnight to 8am everyday. Regarding the hotel, I think it is a OK hotel. You get what you pay for, i.e budget accomodation. The staff could be friendlier (did not even thank us when checked-out) the so-called breakfast is served only from 8am to 9am and everyone is entitled to two croissants, orange juice/water and coffee! If she likes you, the food and beverage assistant might give you extra croissants otherwise get your own food...The WIFI only works at the first floor so don't hope to check your emails all the way up to their 16th floor! The swimming pool is quite small for a hotel of that size. The location is what saves the hotel it is located just in front of a metrover station, Macy's and the downtown are 5mns away, count 15mns walk to Bayside Mall and Port of Miami! It's located next to the highways so except noise coming from the night racers! As a conclusion, if you're on a budget and just need a place to sleep in for several days this hotel is for you, but if you're looking for something a bit more glamourous try Holiday Inn 3 blocks away ;)

Took my daughter to school.(Johnson and Wales) The hotel was a little fare but the rate was fantastic and the savings was worth the 10 minute drive

This place was definately nice at one time. Now it's a bit run down and possibly under-staffed. The location was great, rooms were good enough for one or two nights. If you are planning on saving money this is the way to go, if you want something nice, maybe up your price range a bit. Also, it's $25 to park a rental. There is a public parking garage nearby that is much cheaper if you don't mind a short walk. We enjoyed our stay, but spent little time in the room.

FRIENDLY STAFF:) BUT I HAVE TO PAY PARKING SEPARATE, AND FOR INTERNET YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE LOBY OF THE HOTEL, AND NO ACCES TO PAGES LIKE FACEBOOK. BREAKFAST HORRIBLE JUST BREAD AND COFFEE
